WAS Dave Stanford's rave report on the stale Champions' League final a spoof?
He called it "incredible... a sumptuous feast of compelling football... an enthralling and open encounter that oozed quality and class..."
Was this the same game that one national daily called "the Eurovision Pong Contest" and Ronaldo dubbed "a very ugly and boring final"?
There were better games down at Bootham Crescent last season. Perhaps like many people Dave fell asleep sometime around half time and had to make up his report...
